I love that you 'get' me!!
We have a few Used Book Stores in the city. The best one is about 1 1/2 miles up the street next to me. No idea what they charge for p/b's but h/c's start at $8.00.
Really nice store, big and organized. The lady who runs it is one unhappy gal and takes it out on everyone. I will take a look for the blue cover for you.
Thank-you. I appreciate that.
Anytime KFF, just ask.

I think I will go out to VV tomorrow for you and Morgan unless we get that storm. Really don't want to clean that desk. Bookcase is done, it looks great!
Awesome. I always hate it when it is time to dust my bookcases.
What is the meaning of this "cleaning" and "dusting" you are discussing?
Well yes,yes Iam. Perhaps cob webs would be ok Stephen King treasure. Morgan I think Iam liking the way you think. Definity incouragement for me.What is the meaning of this "cleaning" and "dusting" you are discussing?
I'm here to help! Another household tip I find useful - when things get too filthy, move to a different place.Well yes,yes Iam. Perhaps cob webs would be ok Stephen King treasure. Morgan I think Iam liking the way you think. Definity incouragement for me.

With the guys I will be moving alot.
My latest finds from this past weekend:
The Long Walk is a Turtleback hardcover. Jaws is a book club edition (giving it to a friend). The Glass Inferno is an unread 1st printing.

I love those Turtleback Stephen King books. We used to order for the library. Is it an ex--library copy? Nice haul...once again.

...how can you be surly, miserable and obnoxious when you're around books all day?.....

Absolutely! The last time I was in there when I went up to the counter to pay for my books, I smiled and said 'aren't you a little ray of sunshine today'.
I couldn't believe her answer. She said 'damn straight, who else in their right mind would work here for $25/hour and only (ONLY) a 75% discount
on my purchases'. I told her I would.
....Sweet Baby Jeebus!......what a pay grade for a cake job!!.....
No kidding! I was told that one of the wealthy owns the store and she runs it AND has 2 employees to do th lifting and stocking of the shelves. I guess she is a
fanatic when it comes to how those shelves are set up. Have to admit she knows what she is doing, everything is easy to find and well marked shelves.
Here is a list of my recently acquired books (thank you, morgan) and a book store haul:
